I thought it would be a fun thread to see how much everyone is driving and enjoying their cars.

In 2022 I drove my car 2,000 miles; mostly short 10-30 mile trips. How much did you drive yours?

About 500 miles. Mostly due to the T5 having a shifting problem which has now turned into a rebuilt T5, new clutch cable, new clutch and brake pedal bushings and a list of other things that have been needing addressing over the past few years. Basically a list of small crap that finally piled up and made me avoid driving the car which is just stupid.

I drove my 89 about 4800 miles and the Saleen we drove about 3500 miles last year However, I have only owned the 89 since April and it was not road worthy till the beginning of May so not a full year yet. I just rolled over 217K this morning on the 89.

"I" drove my notch maybe 2-3 miles last year before shipping it to Kevin, not sure how many miles @95steedamustang might have put on it before tearing it down... I drove the Cobra about 40-50 miles before shipping it to Kevin, again not sure how many shakedown miles he put on it before tearing it down.

I drive the blue 89 coupe four or five days a week. It is my take the dog to the beach to walk car. Also drive it to Autozone and other local errands. Love this little thing. Also try to drive the 82 at least every couple weeks.

Roughly 10-15 miles prior to thinking I'd perform a simple cam swap. One discovery of a spun cam bearing later, she sits collecting dust as I collect parts. Hopefully 2023 is a better year for her.

200 miles maybe.... now that it is coming together i am going to try and get her out more. Sucks that becuase the lack of space she sits in storage most of the time under a cover. Took her out today for the first time in 2023. Looks like most of us no longer driving them
